Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to the appropriate frying temperature.

Coat the marinated chicken wings in the batter, ensuring they are fully covered.

Fry the wings in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 8-10 minutes per batch.

In a separate pan, melt the unsalted butter and mix in honey, sriracha, garlic powder, and low sodium soy sauce to create the sauce.

Toss the fried wings in the honey sriracha sauce before serving.
